Eeesous and Androlncda.

Although the story of Perseus and
tAndromeda Is, Of course, we'll known
to nearly all readers, yot on account of
the great beauty and brilliancy OF the
group OF considerations that perpetuate
the memory Of it among the stars, it is
worth recalling here. It will be re-
membered that, as Perseus was return
ing through the air from his conquest
of the Gorgon Medusa, he saw the
beautiful Andromeda chained to a rock
on the sea coast, waiting to be devourod
by a sea monster The poor girls only
offence was that her mother, Cassiopeia,
had boasted for her that she was fairer
than the sea-beauty, Atergatis, and for
this Neptune had decreed that all the
land Of the Philippians should be drown
ed and destroyed unless Andromeda was
delivered up as q sacrifice to the dread
full sea-monSter. When Perseus, dropp-
ing down to learn why this maiden WAS
chained TO the rock, heard from An
dromeda's lips the story Of her woes he
laughed with JOY. Here was an adj
venture Just to his liking, and, besides,
unlike Ills previous adventures, il in
yolyed tho fate Of beautiful woman
with whom he was already in love.
Could be save her? Well wouldn't he?
The sea monster might frighten a king
dom full Of Ethiops, but it could not
shake the nerves Of a hero from Greece,
Flo whispered words Of encouragement
to Andromeda, who could scarce be-
lieye the good news that champion
had como to defend her after all her
friends and royal relations had deserted
her. Neither could she feel much con-
